- SF 18 REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS TO PROVIDE GENERAL CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE PAD FOR THE INSTALLATION OF AN EXPLOSIVE STORAGE MAGAZINE AT LUIS MUNOZ MARIN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (SJU) 1.0 Purpose The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) National Explosive Detection Canine Team Program (NEDCTP) is committed to establishing safe, secure repositories for training equipment related to the Proprietary Canine Program. To this end, NEDCTP desires to install and maintain an explosives magazine at Luis Munoz Marin International Airport. To achieve this goal, NEDCTP requires this site be prepared for receipt and installation of this magazine. 1.1 Background TSA is contracting with airports to install explosives storage magazine facilities to be located on or near airport grounds. Each facility will house explosive storage magazine(s) that will safely and securely hold the TSA-approved explosive training aids which are required to train and maintain the proficiency of the TSA explosives detector canines. This effort comprises constructing a concrete pad, installing a grounding rod, an encompassing barricade, erecting enclosure fencing, access gate, and associated lighting if necessary. These deliverables are to meet requirements set forth in ATF 5400.7. http://www.atf.gov/explarson/fedexplolaw/2007edition/index.htm 1.2 Technical Requirements/Task A. Pre-Construction Contractor will comply with all Federal, state, and local building codes within the Puerto Rico Port Authority. The contractor will also be required to obtain FAA's approval of the amendment of the Airport Layout Plan for the expansion of the existing concrete pad and associated structures. B. Construction Task 1: The contractor shall remove an existing section of cyclone fencing on one side of the existing concrete pad. Task 2: The contractor shall construct, at a minimum, a gravel or crushed stone base (free draining material) thirty-five (35) feet long by ten (10) feet wide by four (4) inches deep. Task 3: The contractor shall construct, at a minimum, a concrete pad thirty-five (35) feet long by ten (10) feet wide by six (6) inches thick at 3,500 pounds per square inch (PSI). This pad is to be reinforced with fiber or wire fabric. It is to conform to (ACI) recommendations and local building codes. This pad is to be located adjacent to an existing concrete pad at the airport site. Task 4: The contractor shall install a.75 inch by ten (10) foot grounding rod. This grounding rod is to be compliant with (NFPA) code requirements. Task 5: The contractor shall install four (4) twelve (12) foot solar light poles. Placement of the light poles are to be two (2) per concrete pad and are to be placed so as to provide the maximum amount of light to the work area located between each magazine, as well as to the entrance of each magazine. Task 6: The contractor shall construct a concrete table, approximately three (3) feet by six (6) feet, approximately three (3) inches in thickness reinforced with rebar, at standard table height (approximately 30 inches). The table will sit on four (4) cinder block legs set at each end. This table shall be placed on the side of the concrete pad adjacent to the existing pad. Additionally, the contractor shall install a simple aluminum or steel roof to cover the table. Task 7: The contractor shall erect enclosure fencing and access gate. The contractor shall construct a cyclone fence, ten (10) feet in height and a five (5) foot wide gate, all topped with three (3) lines of barbed wire around the three sides of the new concrete pad that are not directly adjacent to the existing pad.
